Our view

Likely to suit

Small and toy adults, with a tray finished before it needs covering
Owners who want turkey as the one named animal
Dogs whose digestion has never quite settled
A functional blend you can read, beet and citrus pulp included
Light eaters. The label's guide puts a 1.5 kg dog on a single tray a day

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives can include chicken, so it will not steer round a poultry problem
Cereals, vegetables and fruit unnamed and unmeasured
Carbohydrate estimated at 49.0% of dry matter against the 15.8% typical for adult wet food
